There actually is one more bug: jak@jak-t480s:~:master$ aptitude search '?any-version(?installed?archive(kinetic)?name(^apt$))' jak@jak-t480s:~:master$ apt list '?any-version(?installed?archive(kinetic)?name(^apt$))' Listing... Done apt/impish,now 2.5.1+0~202206301128~ubuntu21.10.1 amd64 [installed] N: There is 1 additional version. Please use the '-a' switch to see it It's unclear where aptitude implements ?installed for a version, my impression was it was only implemented by checking if the installed flag was set at the package level, hence how I implemented it.
